All of the music on the weekend of December 15th will, once again, be Christmas music — celebrating this joyous season that just seems to be “made” for music! Likewise, artist comments will be pertaining to this most wonderful time of the year.
Paul’s Featured Artists on this program will be one of the most gifted of the family groups singing today — the Collingsworth Family. They’ll share half-a-dozen songs from their brand new Christmas CD entitled “Feels Like Christmas.” And it does! You’ll hear their renditions of some classic Christmas carols, including “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,” along with some exceptional new Christmas songs. You’ll especially enjoy “My Gift Is Me,” sung by Olivia Collingsworth. We’ll talk with the family about why they did a Christmas recording and why (and how) they chose the songs they included.
And, in his Artist Spotlight is the Old Paths Quartet, another of the Southern Gospel groups doing brand new Christmas recordings this year, this one called “His Name Is Jesus.” You’ll hear that title song along with their quartet version of a favorite old carol and a new song that puts this whole Christmas celebration into proper perspective. Paul visits with group members Tim Rackley and Doug Roark.
Along the way, Paul will have brief visits with Quint & Debra Shepherd (the Shepherds), Jonathan Lester (Lesters), Mark Trammell (Mark Trammell Quartet), Ronnie Booth (Booth Brothers) and Greg Gainer (Mercy’s Well). Also, on the Headline Update, he’ll visit with Gerald Williams who, at the end of this year, is retiring his quartet, the Melody Boys Quartet, after 63 years.
